From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 132: Helping Others and Yourself
The wounds on Yang Youzhi's body stopped bleeding and began to recover.

His sword glowed again, and he rushed towards Meng Yuan with gritted teeth. A cave appeared, "Floating Light Cave!"

But suddenly, Yang Youzhi saw mist and rain surrounding Meng Yuan, and his aura was extremely weak.

Yang Youzhi didn't care and swung his sword, cutting through the sky.

Meng Yuan's aura was becoming increasingly weak, but there was no need to worry about it. He was right in front of him and would never lose his target.

Just as countless floating lights poured out from the cave, Meng Yuan's aura suddenly disappeared, and a flying rainbow rushed out from the mist and rain around him, extending out in an instant and coming in front of him.

The flying rainbow was like a bridge, and then it gathered in front of him. When Yang Youzhi suddenly realized it, he saw Meng Yuan also coming with the flying rainbow, silently, as if his body and the flying rainbow merged into one.

"The stabbing method?" Yang Youzhi had no strength to dodge, let alone fight again, and then he felt a sharp pain in his body.

Meng Yuan took Yang Youzhi's sword and retreated more than ten steps away.

This time, Yang Youzhi activated the Floating Light Cave Heaven, intending to make a desperate attack. Meng Yuan used the Qi of the first part of the Misty Rainbow to eliminate it, and then used the second part of the stabbing method to make most of the floating lights have no place to land, but there were still two or three percent of the floating lights that followed Meng Yuan.

Meng Yuan had no way to defend himself and had to endure it forcefully.

At this moment, his whole body was covered with minor wounds and covered in blood.

However, after three rounds of body tempering, Meng Yuan's muscles and bones are much stronger than those of his peers. Although he seems to be covered in blood, in fact, they are only flesh wounds, and his muscles, bones and internal organs are not damaged.

"I was wondering why you kept tempting me to use the Floating Light Cave Heaven. It turns out you have a way to prolong life and regain youth!"

Meng Yuan figured it out. As long as he used the Floating Light Cave Heaven, Yang Youzhi would be able to fight again even if he was seriously injured. By that time, his jade liquid would be exhausted, his muscles and bones would be weak, and he would no longer have the strength to fight. Naturally, he would win.

The plan was very good, but I still underestimated people. Misty Rainbow is too treacherous, and people who encounter it for the first time can easily be caught off guard.

Yang Youzhi spat out blood but didn't say anything.

Meng Yuan swallowed a pill of Baicao Dan, "What is the name of your method of hiding your realm?"

Yang Youzhi's jade liquid had dried up, his body was soaked in blood, and his face looked a little older. He sat slumped on the ground, and after a while he grinned and said, "The name of the secret is thin burial! Do you want to learn it?"

"I want to." Meng Yuan said.

"Haha, I'll tell you after I let you go." Yang Youzhi said.

"Sure." Meng Yuan held his sword in place, "I can also send you back to Songhe Prefecture, so you can watch me and my sister-in-law indulge in a night of pleasure, and you can point out my shortcomings afterwards."

Yang Youzhi was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily: "Traitor! Evil thief! Lecherous thief!"

"Who sent you here?" Meng Yuan took two steps forward and said, "If you don't tell me, I will definitely send your wife to the secret door outside the north city when I go back."

Yang Youzhi was trembling all over. After a while, he said, "I can't tell you. If I die, only one person will die. If I tell you, too many people will die."

He forced himself to sit up and attempted suicide.

"Will Prince Xin take care of your wife and children?" Meng Yuan asked.

Yang Youzhi was stunned for a moment, closed his eyes, and reached out his hand tremblingly to dig out his internal organs.

At this moment, a long whistle was heard from afar, low but powerful, and the cicadas' chirping stopped immediately.

Following the sound, I saw a man in black clothes and a bamboo hat walking on the green grass. He took a step of three to five feet, as if he was flying.

The person coming was clearly Monk Xuanzhen.

Meng Yuan has been fighting with monks recently, but he doesn't have much resentment towards them.

There are people of great virtue among the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but there are also people of despicable character, which is normal.

Monk Xuanzhen followed the path of martial arts and practiced the orthodox Buddhism. Meng Yuan was not familiar with him, nor did they have any friendship with him. They even had a feud.

"Spare his life!" Xuan Zhen rushed forward, put his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha."

He walked straight forward, put one hand together and chanted Buddha's name, while holding Yang Youzhi's head with the other hand.

Xuan Zhen just recited some sutra and then withdrew his hand. All of Yang Youzhi's hair fell off.

Meng Yuan frowned and looked at Yang Youzhi carefully, but found that he no longer had the intention to commit suicide. His injuries seemed to have improved a little, but his eyes were blank, as if he had lost his mind.

"Is this a magical power that can confuse people's minds?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"Amitabha, what Mr. Meng said is wrong." Xuan Zhen took off his bamboo hat, revealing his bald head. He held the bamboo hat, clasped his hands together and bowed his head, saying, "This is the divine power of my Buddhist sect. It is called entering my Buddhist sect. It is actually a method to persuade people to be good. How can it be an evil method that confuses people's minds?"

As he was speaking, he saw Hu Qian and the other two approaching him. He clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "I was just begging for alms in the town and heard the sound of spring thunder, so I knew something was going on. It's just that I'm late, so please don't blame me."

"I dare not." Meng Yuan took the water bag handed over by Wu Changsheng, drank two sips, and said, "If I had known that the master was coming, I wouldn't have to suffer all these injuries!"

"Amitabha, if you do good deeds, you will definitely get good results. It's just a minor injury, but it will heal after a while."

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Youzhi and said devoutly: "From today on, your Dharma name is Huiming. Hui means dark and unclear, which is the evil of your coming; Ming means bright and brilliant, which is the good of your going."

"Master, this is the thief we caught together!" Hu Qian crossed her arms and frowned, saying, "You accepted him as your apprentice, but are you going to take him away?"

"Of course." Xuanzhen said as a matter of course, "The disciples of my Lanruo Temple go out to travel, one is to practice asceticism, and the other is to save the evil." "You save the evil, but you save the people we captured?" Hu Qian pulled Meng Yuan's sleeve.

"The Dharma name Huiming is well chosen!" Meng Yuan clapped his hands in praise. "In the past it was Huiming, and now it is Ming, neither loss nor gain. It can be seen that the master has great wisdom and has deeply understood the profound meaning of the emptiness of the four elements."

"Amitabha, thank you for your compliment." Xuan Zhen was very polite. He said, "Meng Xiaoqi, please give me some face. I will report to Captain Li and he will not make it difficult for you. You are suppressed by Captain Li and his men. You cannot get promoted or advance in your career. You are like a dragon trapped in a shallow pool, unable to be free. I still have some dignity. I will do the intermediary work and I guarantee that Captain Li will take Meng Xiaoqi as his confidant."

Seeing that Meng Yuan remained silent, he spoke even more vigorously, "Captain Yao was not as good as you in martial arts, intelligence, and even less broad-mindedness. Now that he is dead, you should fill the vacancy. In the future, you will be in charge of the affairs of Songhe Prefecture."

"Master, that's right." Meng Yuan nodded in agreement and said, "I was born a refugee. Although I live in the palace, I have little to rely on. I am crawling among the people and have no freedom."

Xuanzhen nodded slightly.

"Kill someone and pay with your life!" Hu Qian suddenly shouted, "Yang Youzhi committed seven crimes, eleven people died, one of whom was a child!"

"Don't worry, lady." Xuan Zhen put his hands together, "This person has done a lot of evil, but he also has some skills. If he corrects his mistakes and does more good deeds in the future, isn't that also an act of repentance?"

"I understand what you mean, Master." Meng Yuan nodded slightly. "You mean this person used his abilities to commit great evil, but after he corrects himself in the future, he can also use his abilities to do great good!"

"Well, well, Mr. Meng's mind is clear and bright, that's just how it is." Xuan Zhen looked at Meng Yuan with increasingly kind eyes.

"It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. Master, what you said is the truth of the world, and it couldn't be more right." Meng Yuan smiled, put his knife on the ground, looked at Xuan Zhen, and sneered: "But in my opinion, Master, you understand some great principles, but you have meditated on a dog. Killing someone means paying with your life, your Buddhist theory cannot beat mine."

Xuan Zhen frowned, looked at Meng Yuan, and said, "Mr. Meng, the hair-shaving ceremony has been completed. Are you still going to stop it?"

"The cassock is not pure, and the red dust does not stain the nature of emptiness." Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Since Master Xuanzhen can save others, why not save me again?"

"Amitabha, Mr. Meng suffered harm in the last battle at the Floating Light Cave Heaven. Can you really fight again?" Xuan Zhen clasped his hands together and bowed, very humbly.

Meng Yuan picked up the knife and said, "I can't kill pigs and dogs, but I can kill bald donkeys!"

"Good, good, good!" Hu Qian clapped her hands.

"Brother," Wu Changsheng came up and whispered, "Why don't you go seek help first and take shelter for a while."

Tie Niu was no fool either, and advised: "Brother, you taught me that I should be calm and composed when doing things."

"Get out of the way! Keep quiet! A bald ass is standing on the steps and talking about cause and effect!" Meng Yuan raised his leg and kicked Wu Changsheng and Tie Niu over. "Get out of the way!"

"I will fight side by side with my brother!" Hu Qian said proudly.

"And..." Meng Yuan originally raised his leg and wanted to kick again, but when he saw Hu Qian dressed as a female knight, he withdrew his foot.

"They've all been avoided." Meng Yuan held the knife in his hand, "Let me test the monk's ability!"

Seeing that Meng Yuan was serious, Hu Qian and the other two dared not disobey and retreated more than twenty steps away.

"Amitabha, why are you so stubborn?" Monk Xuanzhen sighed, walked ten steps away, shook the bamboo stick in his hand, and the bamboo pieces broke, revealing a sword.

"Master just said that I am a dragon trapped in shallow water, unable to be free. But I am also searching up and down, unyielding." The knife in Meng Yuan's hand emitted brilliance here.

The two people's energy suddenly entangled with each other.

Xuan Zhen did not attack, but held the knife with both hands, with a pale yellow light emanating from his body. "I will use my indestructible golden body to test the donor's floating light cave heaven."

The sound of spring thunder rang out, and then there was hazy mist and rain around Meng Yuan.

Xuan Zhen frowned slightly, "Donor, you have many unique skills. But the battle is just getting started, how much jade liquid is left? If you use up a little more, the Floating Light Cave Heaven will lose even more power."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other party running towards him.

Xuan Zhen did not dare to be careless. He held down the sword with both hands. The golden light around him became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that he was pushing the indestructible golden body to the extreme.

His face was serious and he stared at the other person closely. Then he saw a flying rainbow stretching out from the mist and rain and appearing before his eyes.

Then the man seemed to merge into the flying rainbow, and his aura suddenly disappeared.

When I was stunned, I saw a knife energy falling from the flying rainbow, and then it seemed to tear the sky apart, and thousands of floating lights fell down.

"Amitabha!" Xuan Zhen felt that this floating light cave was something he had never seen before. The number and breadth of the floating lights seemed endless.

"Ah, ah, ah!" The Immortal Golden Body struggled to maintain itself, and the jade liquid all over his body was urging it, but the opponent's floating light really seemed endless, and its power was greater than that of the floating light of others.

After only seven or eight breaths, cracks appeared on the golden body. After another ten breaths, the golden body shattered.

The remaining floating lights surged in front of him, and Xuan Zhen pushed his ring knife forward, but it still couldn't block them all, and he felt countless floating lights like fine needles falling on his body.

Although the floating light was like a thin needle, it was extremely powerful and could penetrate the flesh and blood that he had worked hard to train, and then reach his tendons, bones and internal organs.

After a while, Xuan Zhen came to his senses, only to see the man gasping for breath. He came to Yang Youzhi and cut off his head.

Then fire came out of his hands, and all the corpses turned into ashes.

"I respect the name of your precious temple. Since the master has the heart to save the wicked, why not collect the ashes of the corpse and bury them under the Bodhi tree? I believe that it will bear more fruits next year. If the monks in the temple can't finish eating them, they can also be shared with poor lay people." Meng Yuan wanted to take Yang Youzhi's head, but the bald head was a little difficult to take, so he could only kick it away, "Tie Niu, come and take the head!"
